A method for operating a dot-matrix printer to allow printing in the accelerating and decelerating regions of the carriage traverse, which comprises the steps of: firing the wires for registration at the present position of the carriage and stepping the carriage by energization of a stepper motor driving the carriage for the period required to complete the step when accelerating the carriage or the period required to brake the carriage when decelerating the carriage. These times will decrease as the carriage accelerates to the desired velocity and will increase as the carriage decelerates from the desired velocity.
